THE CHIEF thing for which the President
deserves the approval of the right thinking
men of all parties in the country, repuoIi-
cans as we'll as democrats, is his veto OF
the sweeping pensions bill passed by the
last Congress. But yet, Mr. Randall, whose
small democratic contingent, BY going 10 the
support of the solid republican vote in that
Congress, prevented the democrats therein
from making any reduction in the existing
tariff, was among those who voted to pass
the pensions bill referred to over the ffesl-
dents veto. The democrats of the South
are grateful to Mr.. Randall for the effective
mart no took i'll their defense during recon
struction times, but they can not afford to

was successfully contested by Mr.. LIE Moyne,
who was seated after a period of one year.
MIR. Farwell had cuarreled with the late
Senator Logan, but when the latter was
nominated in 1884 he buried all personal feel
ing and worked like a beaver to secure the
election of the Republican ticket. Suisse
quently. in 1885, when Gen. Logan was a
candidate for reelection to the United States
senate, and when it was thought that Far
wells friends would be able to bring about
the defeat of the general, MIR. Farwell refused
to permit the use of his name. This is thought
to have greatly influenced the friends of the
dead senator to give Mr.. Farwel their united
support. Mr.. Farwell and Gen. Logan had
had a complete reconciliation prior to the
latter's death.
MI. Farwslrs victory is the more notable
from the number of strong contestants that
were in the field for Logan's place. Beside
the Hon. Milton Hay, who, it was at one
time supposed would be named by the gov
ernor for the place, there were the Hon.
Joseph It. Cannon, Hon. Lewis E. Payson,
Hon. Horatio g.. Burchard, Hon. Thomas J.
Henderson and Hon. Clark e. Carr.
MI. Cannon Isl resident Of Danville, Ills,
and has been a member of congress for four
teen years, SO that he is already pretty well
known He is o southerner by birth, having
first seen the light at Greensboro, N. c., in
1886. He has always given a great deal Of
attention to postal matters. Mr.. Cannon is
not so good a speaker as some Of the other
candidates. He is dapper in appearance and
not large physically.
Judge Payson is q native of Rhode Island
and received the title of judge when he was
elected Judge OF the Livingston county Qlls)
court in 1869. Eleven years later he was
elected to congress and has served continue
ousiy since. He has always fought the cattle

cate OF the hennepin canal scheme. Mr..
Payson was a warm friend of Gen. Logan.

Logan's early educational advantages were
exceedingly limited, and 1t was not until after
be was Ia years of age that he was enabled to
begin attending school.
His drst military experience was in the
Mexican war and his first taste of political
life was had in 1852, when he was made prose-
cutting attorney of his native county.
Many amusing and characteristic anecdotes
are told of Gen. Logan. The general was an
inveterate enemy Of the practice OF feeling
walters. Upon one occasion he and Mrs Lo-
gan, with a distinguished party, were at the
Crossman house, Alexandria Bay, where a
banquet was spread in their honor. The
walters naturally expected a rich harvest in
the way OF fees, but when after the feast they
compared notes. it was found that the gem
eral and bis wife had given their waiter their
bills of fare as memeHtoes of the occasion,
while the only other tip that had been re-
ceived was one of fifty cents from a reporter
who accompanied the party.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Fiji will NOT be long
before something is done toward erecting q
statue to Gen. Logan. While the Grand
Army Of the Republic or the Army of tho
Tennessee may choose to place = statue or
monument Of the general at his grave in Chi
cago, congress will undoubtedly appropriate
the necessary means to erect an equestrian
statue Of the great volunteer general at the
capital, where as soldier and legislator his
fame centers. Here, too, is to be Mrs. Io-
CAMS home, and here for nearly half OF the
generals life he lived and worked. There
will be difficulty in finding q suitable spot for
such a statue, as those of Washington, jack

Thomas now occupy the most prominent sites.

was designed by Louis 4. Robfsso, OF Cincin-
natl, in 1875. Robart Wood & Co, of Phila-
.delphia, cast it, as they have most of the
figures in Washington. among them
those Of. Gen. Scott, Gen. Rawlins and Gen.
Greene. When the MCPHERSON statue was un-
yelled In 1876 Gen. Logan was the orator OF
tbs day, and his feeling tribute to his old
comrade Is ona Of tho best speeches Of his
life. The Mcpherson statue cost $4,000,
while the pedestal, which is Of New England
granite, cost e25 ,0oO. The. Society of the
Armysof the Tennessee erected both statue
and pedestal. It was Mt first proposed to
place the remains OF Gen. McPherson be-
meath the statue but his family objected, and
he was permitted to lie In tho soil OF his

the gentlemen who visit the house get of one
of the leaders on the Republican side-Tomi
Reed, of Maine. Reed is a big Newfound-
land dog in general appearance and manner,
save that be is not SO shaggy and hairy as he
should be to make the metaphor precise. He
rolls In his gait and founders about up and
down the aisles during a debate very much
as a big, good natured dog might. When
things look a little suspicious he opens his
mouth and then the likeness ceases. Instead Of
the deep voiced, round toned utterance you
might expect from his girth and height,
there comes forth from the top Of his throat
q thin, drawing Yankee speech that excites
laughter, until you listen closely and notice
that what Reed says is cutting into his oppo-
nents right and left Ike a Damascus blade.
Hi. logic, wit, repartee and timeliness are
dreaded by everybody who is not of his po-
litical household. As he sits in his seat, back
under the gallery, he sinks his head down into
his fat shoulders and rests like a dog asleep
In the sun until some queer state OF things
again rouses him up and he goes wagging and
rolling down the aisle to terribly the enemy
once more.
The most notable figure on the Democratic
side Of the house sits with his back always
toward the ladies' gallery. No matter how
